(1/2, this got so long i'm sorry i'm rambling lol!) ifor those asks: rn, a poem that will *not* leave my head is blake's 'the tyger,' it's my Fave and we just read blake for my romantic writers class too and just. god. i want to write pages and pages on the tyger as lucifer, on the allusions in it. i want 'did he who made the Lamb make thee?' tattooed on my body (honestly, i fully plan on this being my first tattoo). i want to talk to blake for hours and hours and

“(2/2) i want to ask him what it was like to witness the stars throwing down their spears and watering heaven with their tears because you *know* from how he writes it, he saw that. blake the prophet. i just. love. (also i really want to flirt with someone using the line 'and what shoulder and what art could twist the sinews of thy heart?' but that's because of a truly ridiculous conversation with lauren dionysae and the context is Highly Embarrassing for me, lol)”

(that line would totally work on me lol)  i’m going to have to read that poem now, i can’t believe i haven’t yet, i love blake! i just love the Romantics so much. yeah, i also i wish i could see what he saw.

i just saw yr comment on that silent movie etiquette post and the change in concert culture at the turn of the 20th century sounds absolutely interesting, i would love to hear about this!

I am going to probably go on and on about this lol. Also publish it so everyone can hear me go on and on about this because we studied this in ethnomusicology this semester and it was SO INTERESTING and also infuriating.

 so the turn of the century is when the upper class had to be confronted with the lower class moreso than ever because the industrial revolution had many poor people moving from farms to work in the cities and they would go to concerts (or later films) and eat, or smoke, or yell at the performers (there are many descriptions of people stopping operas and asking for completely different songs and booing so loudly that the performance couldn’t go on until the performer complied- this also happened in the opposite where if the audience really liked something, they would ask for encores or stop the show for cheers). the upper class decided they didn’t like this although they used to participate in it too, and there were more standards of politeness everywhere in higher class society. parks had rules (no juggling, no music, no bicycles) and concert culture was completely changed. that’s the time they started hiring ushers to keep conduct “appropriate”, and dimming the lights to discourage coming and going. ladies wearing big hats was discouraged. If you couldn’t “behave”, you had to leave. And those who didn’t have enough money to be exposed to “high society” weren’t used to these standards. This also coincided with the beginning of scientific racism, where scientists decided that poc were dumb because there wasn’t as much room for their brains in their skulls as white people. This is also where the terms “highbrow” and “lowbrow” came from- higher foreheads belonged to white people (excluding the Irish because science isn’t an exact science or anything) and gave more room for brains. That’s how classical music got to be seen as a “highbrow”, rich person thing, and not the popular form of music as it once was. Because the white people decided they wanted the most popular form of music for themselves, and everyone else would just have to go find something different to enjoy.

little shop of horrors for the musicals ask?

I have not seen it live but I have seen the movie! But I don’t own the cast recording which is pretty sad actually. Favorite song is Part of that World Somewhere That’s Green but my favorite character might actually be Seymour? Or Audrey II actually.
